On January 21, 2011 the Archdiocesean Office of Youth Ministry will be sending a group of youth to Washington DC to witness to the Dignity of All Life from conception to natural death! This pilgrimage is entitled The Way, The Truth, and The Life because it is through JESUS that we will find direction, answers, and authentic love. Do you want to be part of this pilgrimage? If you are answering, "YES," to this read on to learn more.

The trip is for all HIGH SCHOOL teens and chaperones (Because programming is geared towards high school aged teens we cannot take 8th graders. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

The cost of the trip is $235.00 for quad occupancy. If you require less people in your room, it will cost more.

We will be leaving from St. Louis on Friday evening, January 21, 2011 and return Tuesday, January 25, 2011.

We will be staying at the Doubletree Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia.

The March for Life will be on Monday, January 24, 2011.

There will be programming each evening and free time for your group to see sites in Washington.
